2012 Lineup

[TYLER_4]

Opens up the possibility of them playing?

[eFestivals]

if strictly reading and leeds are right, id be shocked. although they did get the bestival headliners this year before anyone else.

You're having a laugh.

We'd had the embargo'd press release for eight hours when they published WRONG info saying that the two bands they named were headliners.

So they didn't even get the press release that was going around. That's how much of an 'in' they have to anything.

[jump]

So after reading through all this and getting the impression The Cure probably won't be there, does this open the possibility of Bloc Party headlining?

And also what are the chances of Biffy headlining?

If Biffy headline with QOTSA subbing, that'd make the line up pretty strong surely?

Nope, the exact opposite.

[gazza_20]

so does that make them more likely? as theyd be over here very close to R&L???

[jump]

they had sound garden for download as well a long long time ago before anyone else

[gazza_20]

They also said they would be playing at Soni. Just this week they had 7 headline bands to playing R&L so it's more throw a load of shit and see what sticks.

Indeed, As I said, still not reliable as efests.

I'd say it'd rule them out as they wouldn't want their tix sales competeing against a fest they are playing at.

[ozziesteveo]

Nope, the exact opposite.

[PurpleFire]

Greenday would sell out any tour they had in the country anyway, or get close to a sell out!

It would be a warm up, a smaller show and a Massive quick wedge of money in their back pockets!

I understand why they proberbly wont play, but there are Pros and Cons to all arguments!

[Vieuphoria]

Booooooooooo!!!! If not Greenday and perhaps not 'The Cure'. Are you hearing anything else regarding our elusive third headliner??? Blink 182? The Killers? Coldplay? Bloc Party? Daft Punk or anyone else anyone has mentioned? Throw us a bone here

[ComeCloser]

OH LORD NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Once. Was. Too. Much.

Firstly... there are a shit tonne of fan-boys and girls that will tell you they were the best thing in the world.

But.

I went to see them thinking they'd be fun, I went in with no real bias. But they sounded terrible, looked like they couldn't play their instruments properly, Tom can't sing, and they were just so boring. Making jokes and making the drummer go upside down... that's all they did. Worst Reading headliner i've ever stood through.

Went to see Klaxons for the last 15 mins.... Klaxons, believe it or not... blew Blink away.

Some bloke dressed as a bunny rabbit pissed against the back of my leg during Blink..

[lharris92]

if what Neil says is true that Green Day have a arena tour in september i wouldn't care if they didn't play R&L as it would mean seeing them anyway.

ARRGHHHH why can't the announcement be tomorrow

[Dukeeyyy]

Apologies if someone has mentioned it but Kasabian now TBC

[muffinman]

Maybe Green day might do r/l then announce a few arena tours after they play that or something.
